Update in Mon's land!

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to give you an update on my situation. I am doing about 100% better. Mind you I have less restriction than last week now that my stomach has healed, but I eat small portions and still get full really fast. My soft stop is I “sigh" and I just stop eating when I get that message.

I haven’t weighted myself in awhile, but this morning I am wearing a pair of jean that did not fit me! It’s a strange size (21) but I used to wear a 24 so I’m happy.

Food wise I am doing much better. My mushy period is almost over and I want to thank you all for your support. My friend (banded in 2005) always tells me to listen to my body and it’s the best advice I can give to all you soon to be bandsters.

Also, my acid reflux is 100% cured. I was diagnosed with severe acid reflux 2 years ago. The specialist told me I will need meds my whole life and possibly surgery. At night I would wake up choking with acid content in my throat and I would need to throw up just to get some relief.

Since surgery, I have not had heartburn or reflux once, not once! I haven’t taken my meds since surgery. I can even drink things like Orange Juice (which usually would give me the worst heartburn in history) without any problems. It’s truly a blessing for me!!!

While the beginning was a learning curve, I am ready to work this band!

No more regrets!

M
